Series Update: Kamui 2 - 5

SERIES UPDATE

Long overdue, yes. Had very mixed opinions about the next few volumes... they seemed so... limp... so flat... and then I... realized... that it wasn't the dialog... it was... too many... ellipses... draining... the passion... from the text... I know... English doesn't fit well... in Japanese word balloons... but come on guys... everybody... sounds like... they're sighing... and hopeless... and it's hard to keep reading when you're fighting the urge to call the waahmbulance.

And the sad part is, the art's nice. The plot isn't bad. There's decent worldbuilding, too. The pacing of the dialogue is a major problem for me, though, and I think the blame lies with the translation and the layout. Can anybody who has read the Japanese confirm/deny this for me?

Kamui vol. 2, vol. 3, vol. 4 and vol. 5 are all available from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in anime and manga.
